About this listen

Set in the fictional cathedral town of Barchester, the novel revolves around the power struggles following the sudden death of the archdeacon, which creates a vacancy for the prestigious position of bishop.

At the heart of the story is the conflict between the liberal, progressive Reverend Mr. Slope, who seeks to shape the future of the church, and the conservative, traditionalist characters like the formidable Eleanor Bold and her father, the dean. As the town is thrown into turmoil by the competing interests of its residents, romantic entanglements, social rivalries, and religious debates unfold, all set against the backdrop of a tightly-knit, class-conscious community.

A brilliant mix of humor, drama, and keen social insight, Barchester Towers is a timeless exploration of human nature.
